“Perfumed aromatics of dehydrated strawberries, rosewater, and watermelon rind. Swirling adds spring flowers, crystallized peaches, fresh herbs, and chalk. The palate offers fresh stone fruits, a hint of tart red berries, spice rack, and potpourri. A polished wine with lifted acidity and just the right amount of pithy stone fruit to carry the finish.” -Bryan Otis, Proprietor
Vintage Notes
The 2020 Jaine Rosé was crafted exclusively from Thunderstone Vineyard, a small vineyard parcel located on the Royal Slope of Washington State’s Columbia Valley. The vineyard is fully sustainable and uses organic farming methods whenever possible. The vines were hand-harvested early in the evening of October 6th, 2020.
Upon arrival at the winery, the grape clusters were de-stemmed and macerated for 24 hours before pressing. The Grenache and Mourvèdre were fermented separately and then blended after 6 months before preparing the wine for bottling. The Rosé was fermented and aged entirely in stainless steel to maximize its aromatic potential. Over the course of 8 months, this wine was individually evaluated over 40 times by our winemaking team, and finally bottled with a light fining and filtration between June 8th and 10th, 2021. Only 1,090 cases were produced.
